Hermit Ortell

A generous sort!

I split my Encoded Texts into two piles, giving half to the tauren for CC rep, and the other half to this dude out of curiosity. He does indeed mail you stuff afterwards- one satchel for each pile of 10 you turn in. (Handing in texts to Ortell will NOT get you rep wth CC).
I had only just pipped "Friendly" status with CC, and I've already got a 300 blue tailoring pattern for Stygian Legguards and a recipe to create a fiery Crest of Beckoning! This is after only 2 turn-ins, so your rewards are not dependent on your CC rep. It's clearly random.
You also get Decoded texts which are fun to read if you're bored, but can be safely sold to a vendor, or trashed, and a scroll of some sort of stat boost is often in the package as well.

Someone speculated that your faction lvl might dictate reward and I can say that it does not. I am max exalted. I turned in 100 texts and got 3 patterns (cloth belt, boot x2).

Some were also unsure as to wether or not u would get multiple mails if you turned in a bunch at once, you do. I turned in all 100 at once and about 8-12hrs later I got 10 mails from Ortell. The bags he sends you are not unique.

You can get the Hermit to give up his quest by starting over at Geologist Larksbane and completing her quest chain that starts with The Twilight Mystery quest.
